Skyr Icelandic style yogurt

Skyr is a traditional Icelandic cultured dairy product that has gaine significant international popularity for its high protein content and thick, creamy texture. While it is similar to yogurt, it is technically classified as a fresh cheese due to the traditional straining process and the specific cultures used in its production.

The global brand identity of Skyr is deeply rooted in Iceland, where it has been a staple of the national diet for over a thousand years. Today, while the concept and original recipes originate from Iceland, 'Skyr' is produced by various dairy giants across Europe and North America. Notable brands include Arla (Denmark/Sweden), Siggi's (USA), and Ísey Skyr (Iceland). Ownership and manufacturing locations vary significantly depending on the specific label, with production facilities often located near major consumer markets to ensure freshness.
